Paulding powers up the 2019 Ohio fair season

Grove City, OH — For three days (June 10-12), the fine folks of Paulding County finally had near pitch-perfect weather and horsemen were rewarded with an array of impressive miles over the half-mile oval.

With many of the juvenile trotters and pacers making their initial appearance in front of a crowd, it wasn’t about the times but rather the performances beginning in the very first race on Monday (June 10), when Johnny Kearns’ 2-year-old filly T Degenengold (by Pet Rock) and trainer-driver Jeff Nisonger dominated the Ohio Fair Racing Conference field in 2:08.4 by 18 open lengths.

Timestorm, a 2-year-old trotting gelding by Stormin Normand, won by 31-1/2 lengths in 2:11.3 with trainer-driver Kent Hess in the sulky for Ted Boschma of South Lyon, Mich.

Herecomescharlie B (by Full Count) and 55-year-old breeder-owner-trainer-driver Dan Veneir of Pemberville, Ohio, drew away from the rest of the OFRC 2-year-old colt trotters in 2:12.4 by 13-3/4 lengths.
